Mallorca's ghost town Puntiró: Who will clean up this million-euro wasteland?

Answer

Why does Puntiró in Mallorca have paved roads but no houses?

Development started decades ago, and the area was equipped for a residential project that was never completed. Later planning and court decisions confirmed the land as protected rural land, so the expected building project did not go ahead. What remains is infrastructure without the homes it was meant to serve.
